Face Danger Together

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Qin Yi looked up at the fog in front of him.

Unlike the perpetual mist that shrouded the Demon City, the fog here was extremely dense, a gray-black swirling mass, almost tangible. It probably shouldn't be called fog, but rather air pollution released from industrial chimneys.

It had no odor; it was indeed just fog. The reason it was so thick, almost tangible, was due to the manifestation of some kind of energy.

The rift valley was originally a flat plain created by the Liusu. The reason it is divided into various areas is not only due to the natural changes in the terrain over tens of thousands of years, but more importantly, the special energy surrounding the corpses and treasures that fell into the rift valley has created special geographical areas.

Within this dense fog, there must be a small world of its own, completely separate from the outside world, with a very clear division of energy.

The outside world is not necessarily safe either, because various auras faintly emanating from within the thick fog can give rise to many supernatural phenomena. All sorts of Vengeful Spirits and Ghosts may not obey the Demon King's commands, and even the demons that emerge here are enemies.

Ying Li nearby, had already slapped one of the ghosts flat.

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid the various dangers inside are all indiscriminate area-of-effect attacks, so having more people won't help. I'll trouble Hawk Commander to lead the troops to guard the outside and clear the area for backup. Your Majesty, Ye Ling, and I can go in and explore."

Ying Li glanced at him sideways. "You're just a human. Entering a place like this is far more dangerous than for Demon Race. There's a high chance the attack will be focused on you. Are you sure you want to go in?"

Qin Yi had always intended to explore the secrets of the rift valley, so how could he not go in? Of course, there was no need to say this in public, so he simply said, "So what? If the attack is concentrated on me, wouldn't that be a good way to relieve Cheng Cheng's worries?"

Cheng Cheng smiled slightly, "I will obey your orders."

Ying Li hesitated, realizing that the person who had just given the order was Qin Yi!

Well, since the Queen has said that, let's just take it as her order. The monsters looked at each other for a moment, then reluctantly dispersed and cleared the area.

Cheng Cheng looked at Qin Yi and Ye Ling from left to right. All three nodded and then rushed into the mist together.

The moment Qin Yi entered, he saw a pair of faint, emerald-green vertical pupils in the void. The gaze of those pupils instantly evoked a feeling of extreme terror and fear, enough to make one's soul tremble and one's heart clench with dread.

Anyone's first reaction would be a psychological attack, and Qin Yi instinctively activated his Soul Protection. At the same time, he understood how Cheng Cheng had fallen for him back then.

This has a dual effect: it damages both the spirit and the soul, and shatters the heart and soul.

Moreover, this kind of attack doesn't physically strike your body; it explodes directly in your mind, leaving you no time to defend yourself and no idea how to defend against it.

Cheng Cheng first arrived, this sudden intimidation almost killed her; her heart stopped flowing.

However, its actual power wasn't beyond what most people could defend against, otherwise Cheng Cheng would have died long ago. It's just that the effect was too unusual, like fighting a worthy opponent only to have them use dirty tricks to attack you from behind.

It's even more troublesome than underhanded tricks. Underhanded tricks can be prevented in advance once you know about them, but this kind of mysterious secret technique—you know how it works, but you don't know how to counter it. That's why Cheng Cheng specifically went to the Giant Serpent Heartless Cave to find a way to break it.

Just as the vertical pupils looked over, Cheng Cheng raised his wrist, and the golden ring in his hand suddenly trembled, as if invisible ripples were spreading out, forming a special protective barrier in front of the three of them, which abruptly severed the connection between the light and shadows that the vertical pupils were looking over.

At the same time, Ye Ling transformed into her true form, a black snake roaring towards the sky.

The entire space seemed to twist, and the vertical pupils seemed to be in the surface of water, swaying with the ripples.

The palpitations Qin Yi felt vanished instantly.

Regardless of the secret technique, it must be transmitted through some medium; cutting that medium will solve the problem—this is the most fundamental solution. Don't expect to achieve this in ordinary combat; only by thoroughly understanding the technique beforehand can you decipher it.

Cheng Cheng a flick of her wrist, Chengcheng's golden ring spun in a fiery, blazing manner, piercing the center of her vertical pupil.

Ripples appeared, and the vertical pupils disappeared.

The three of them quickly moved forward and entered the depths of the thick fog. After taking only a few steps, the black snake floating in the air cried out "Ouch!" and almost fell down.

Qin Yi quickly grabbed him.

The intimidating feeling of being confronted at the door often makes people overlook the pressure of their surroundings.

In fact, the entire area was under terrifying pressure, with fear being just one aspect. There was unbearable high temperature, the squeezing force, and a malevolent aura that could cause one's body to fester. There was also a faint, eerie laugh that seemed to come from nowhere, seeping into one's Sea of Consciousness, like a sharp knife piercing one's soul, making one's soul want to scatter.

It was practically a complete hell.

Those with low cultivation levels are practically doomed to die upon entering; they simply cannot stand still.

Ye Ling was struggling to hold on. Qin Yi was only able to endure because of the powerful protective force of the Myriad Demons Magic Robe he had just donned, while the soul attack had been absorbed by Liusu ...

Qin Yi tucked Ye Ling into his clothes, and Ye Ling poked her little head out, revealing a comfortable expression.

Cheng Cheng glanced sideways at the brother and sister who had just been arguing, speechless.

"Do you feel particularly stressed, besides the protective clothing?"

"No, it should be about the same as the damage you suffered."

"That's strange..." Cheng Cheng pondered, "You're human, so entering a demon realm like this should make you feel less like humans and more like humans rejecting you."

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Perhaps I have more in common with this place than you do."

Cheng Cheng asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Qin Yi shook his head and did not answer. Since there was no distinction between humans and demons in ancient times, his "Ancient Bloodline" was indeed more in tune with the Teng Snake Remnant Soul. After all, they were all "ancient beings." On the contrary, the bloodlines of demons that had been around for tens of thousands of years were somewhat unfamiliar and distant from their ancestors.

She just didn't know what this so-called "Ancient Bloodline" of hers was all about. Was it an awakening of ancestral roots like Ye Ling's, or a bloodline passed down through generations? Liusu was vague about it.

Cheng Cheng scrutinized Qin Yi for a while, discovering that he genuinely seemed unaffected by any special aversion. Her eyes widened in surprise mixed with a hint of delight. If his bloodline and the demon's weren't incompatible at all... then, well...

"Boom!"

A burst of flames erupted from nowhere; it was black fire, the Teng Snake Heavenly Fire.

Its power was far greater than the fire spewed by Ye Ling. Even before getting close, Qin Yi could already feel the shock and the scorching sensation in the air, as if the thick fog was about to melt away. It was extremely ferocious.

Laughter suddenly arose from somewhere, like that of a ghostly prison.

Cheng Cheng waved her hand casually.

There were also raging demonic flames, which collided with each other and miraculously turned into water mist, refreshing and disappearing.

"This is a very powerful demon..." Qin Yi said to himself. Lately, she seemed so docile and dependent on him, but he shouldn't forget that she was a powerful demon capable of flattening him with a single slap...

As this thought crossed his mind, he didn't stop, and suddenly the Yunxiu Flute was in his hand.

The Flowing Water Clear Sound flowed out.

The eerie laughter was neutralized by the celestial music, becoming less terrifying. The excruciating pain that felt like being stabbed in the soul was instantly relieved. The restless emotions of the three people in this oppressive, hellish situation were smoothed out by the music, flowing into their hearts like a clear spring. Even Ye Ling's minor injury was healed.

Cheng Cheng Ye Ling's eyes sparkled again.

So Qin Yi is actually a team support! This music is really good!

Qin Yi played slowly, then suddenly his eyes narrowed, a strong wind arose, and unseen sound waves swept through, crashing against the surrounding thick fog.

"Heaven Collapse"!

With the blessing of the magic robe, his Technique Method became much more powerful.

The dense gray-black fog formed by the surrounding Demon Power was completely shattered by the sound waves, and the view ahead gradually opened up, slowly revealing the scene not far away.

The Teng Snake Corpse is intertwined with the skeleton of a strange bird with three heads and six tails, like a sculpture.

It was the Soaring Serpent and the Qi Tu.

Qin Yi's already ferocious "Heaven Collapse" power struck their corpses, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

The Soaring Serpent's head was facing the three of them, its vertical pupils glowing with phosphorescence.

It was as if you could feel it roaring, "Die..."

Then, heavenly fire swept in from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, this small area was transformed into a world of flames.

Liusu's voice rang out. "It really is this thing! Just a remnant soul, what's with all the arrogance! Smash it!"
